Fan attack on Lampard not Tottenham's fault, rules FA

The Football Association has cleared Tottenham after an investigation into events following the FA Cup replay against Chelsea last month, when a fan ran on to the pitch and attempted to punch Frank Lampard. The England midfielder ducked away from the fan's attack and he was restrained by Chelsea players. "After reviewing a video of the incident and receiving a full report from Spurs, there will not be any disciplinary action against the club," said an FA spokesman.

At the time the FA described the scenes as "totally unacceptable". The fan involved, 18-year-old Tommy Smith, has since been given a three-year ban from football matches and is banned for life from White Hart Lane.

Spurs fans planning to travel to Sevilla, where the team plays the first leg of their Uefa Cup quarter-final tomorrow, have been warned to be sensitive to other visitors to the city during their Semana Santa celebrations. Easter week is marked in the Andalucian city by a series of events, including nightly processions through the town centre, and local police will adopt a "zero tolerance" policy towards visiting fans who do not respect their traditions.

"It is considered extremely disrespectful for tourists to wear T-shirts and shorts on these days," Tottenham said in a statement. "Drinking alcohol in the street is strictly prohibited and those that do will receive an immediate €300 (£204) fine and possible arrest."

Meanwhile, Spurs have been linked with a move for the Vitesse Arnhem midfielder Theo Janssen. The left-sided player signed a new three-year contract in December though it includes a clause which would allow him to leave if Spurs make a reasonable offer. "Tottenham are a nice club," he said.

Tottenham's midfielder Tom Huddlestone has picked up a knee injury and will be sidelined for at least three weeks. He was injured during the Premiership win over Reading on Sunday after coming on as a second-half substitute.

Aston Villa's winger Gabriel Agbonlahor has signed a new four-year contract. The 20-year-old had two years to run on his previous deal but the Villa manager Martin O'Neill was keen to reward the player after an impressive first season of regular senior football.

Coventry's Scottish striker Kevin Kyle was sentenced to 120 hours' community service yesterday for brawling in the street while celebrating Scotland's Euro 2008 qualifying win over France last October. The 25-year-old was convicted of two breaches of the peace after a trial at Stranraer Sheriff Court last month.
